Sarpedon of the Ashen Wake

Marpsas of the Ashen Wake (died c. 420s BCE) was a mercenary who operated in Greece during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography
Many had witnessed Marpsas in battle, but few had survived. According to a rumor, he was far more skilled with his flaming bow than he was with a sword, but no one had ever got close enough to find out.

During the war, he crossed paths with the Spartan misthios Kassandra, with whom he met his match in marksmanship.
